table food

emma taylor has loved eating cheerios and puffs for quite awhile now. however, i haven't had too much luck with other finger/table foods. i have tried giving her fruit (which is slippery and fun to play with) or vegetables with no luck. i could spoon feed her some of that stuff, but i had hoped she would eat it on her own. this week we had some success. emma taylor will eat sandwiches! first she ate chicken salad (without the onions and celery) and then a cream cheese with pea and spinach mash (i know it sounds gross but she ate it up!). she of course made a mess but at least now she is tolerating her bib which slightly protects her clothes. i am glad to finally be eating with her at lunch instead of feeding her and then eating by myself when she goes down for a nap. plus she is just too cute stuffing those little sandwiches in her mouth.
